Aqua attempting to push my buttons, why?

Ok so I finally found a second Decan aqua male IRL and he's self admittadly attempting to push my buttons to get a reaction out of me.

Now as a second Decan aqua also this is what a younger me would do to get attention from a member of the opposite sex I liked, but now I'm a bit older I don't tend to do this anymore.

When we are together we are in a group of around 20 people and we are the only aquas he only behaves this way towards me. We've been alone once and he was a different person which is exactly how I behave

So do you other aquas ever find yourselves behaving this way? If so why? In the past Iv actually found this method has pushed some of my crushes away which is why I learned to control it and get attention in a different way.

I don't know why this has duplicated but another thing he's done I wanted to add. I have in this group another guy that had attached himself to me and we were seen together allot but he's now left the group and he commented in a mocking tone how I would be missing him blah blah

Why would you lot choose to act in a certain way but in fact feel something else ?

haylz124, I find that Water Bearers, you lot have the tendency to want to push the buttons of others in order to incite a reaction, rather than be straight forward to get what you want.

Is that not a roundabout way of only attracting more drama in the end, the very thing you lot supposedly despise ?

All these contradictions, I would think it would tire out that cerebral mind of yours but apparently not so.
